New To Me Tuesday! Imperfect Monster By Jennifer Bene

I’m Paulo García’s monster, and I’d swallowed that bitter pill whole, learned to deal with it… until she stormed into the house like some avenging Valkyrie.

Brave, stupid, beautiful.

Nicky just wants to save her brother. She showed up with an envelope full of cash and a smart mouth and found herself in a den of monsters. I wish I could say I was the best of them, I wish I could say I wanted to protect her — but I’m far fromperfect and she’s so damn sweet.

And all I want is a taste before this world destroys her.

I have never read Jennifer Bene and the description for Imperfect Monster had me wanting to
check this one out. I have been on a
dark romance kick as of late and I figured that this one would add to my need
for darker reads and it did. I really
liked this one, there was the darkness I was craving, there was some suspense,
some secrets, some action and some erotic moments. This is a dark read so there are some
situations that could be triggers for some so please keep that in mind when
reading this book.

It takes, well let’s just say it takes some big balls to
storm into a drug lord’s house the way that Nicky does. Stupid isn’t strong enough of a word to be
honest. I admire that she wanted to take
care of her brother but come on girl with that amount owed you should know it’s
something serious. She was sassy at times,
which I always love in a character, but I wish she had more depth to her. She infatuated Andre and it is lucky she did
because he saves her. IS he a
saint? No he will call himself an imperfect
monster and he is, he hurts her but at the same time is protecting her. I like Andre’s character, I know he was doing
what he had to do at the time but it also doesn’t excuse what he does to
Nicky.

Overall I enjoyed Imperfect
Monster, I do think it could have used some more depth storyline wise, but
beyond that it was another dark romance that this book whore enjoyed very
much. It provided the escape I was
looking for and I think lovers of dark romance will enjoy this one but please
make sure you take the warning I mentioned because I wouldn’t want someone to
trigger.
